Deployment Simulation of Ultra-lightweight Inflatable Structures
Dynamic deployment analyses of folded inflatable tubes are conducted to investigate modeling issues related to the deployment of solar sail booms. The analyses are necessary because ground tests include gravity effects and may poorly represent deployment in space. A control volume approach, available in the LS-DYNA nonlinear dynamic finite element code, and the ideal gas law are used to simulat...
متن کاملPathfinder Photogrammetry Research for Ultra-Lightweight and Inflatable Space Structures
The defining characteristic of ultra-lightweight and inflatable space structures is that they are both very large and very low mass. This makes standard contacting methods of measurement (e.g. attaching accelerometers) impractical because the dynamics of the structure would be changed by the mass of the contacting instrument. Optical measurements are therefore more appropriate. Photogrammetry i...
متن کاملToward Rigidization of Inflatable Structures
Active rigidization of a simple structure demonstrates how internal resistive heating can be applied to cause permanent physical strengthening of inflatable structures. Rigidizing a real structure brings to light the issues associated with incorporating the rigidizable resincoated tow onto a separate substrate and provides a useful example of the strength gained through effective rigidization. ...
متن کاملResponse of Coastal Structures against Earthquake Forces Considering Soil-Structure Interaction and Tsunami Run-Up Forces
The catastrophic tsunamis generated by the great Indonesia earthquake triggered on December 26 th , 2004, warned the coastal community on preparedness and constructing safe structures to resist against such events. Earthquake occurs suddenly without warning and bulk of destruction takes place within a short period of time. Similarly, when tsunami strikes, there will be a tremendous loss and dam...
متن کاملInitial performance assessment of hybrid inflatable structures
Inflatable technology for space applications is under continual development and advances in high strength fibers and rigidizable materials have pushed the limitations of these structures. This has lead to their application in deploying large-aperture antennas, reflectors and solar sails. However, many significant advantages can be achieved by combining inflatable structures with structural stif...
